Welcome to Sjöbogården, an exceptional waterfront residence set on its own private peninsula, offering a truly idyllic lifestyle.
A gently curving driveway, lined with roses, leads to this impressive home, originally built in 1920 and extended in the 1960s. Set on an elevated hill, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, level lawns, flowerbeds, fruit and evergreen trees, and natural rock formations. A double carport and adjoining storage room provide convenient parking.
A short flight of steps leads to the entrance hall, with coat storage and a guest WC. The house offers generous, light-filled reception areas, including a magnificent living room with decorative sash windows overlooking the water, a cosy sleeping alcove and double doors opening onto a spacious waterfront terrace. Beautiful ceiling beams with recessed lighting add character and charm.
An elegant inner hall features a tiled fireplace and a gracefully curved staircase to the upper floor. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinetry, storage and tiled flooring, with direct access to the dining room. Here, a remarkable stained-glass window with leaded detailing, originally from Coventry Church outside London, creates a unique focal point. The dining room also opens onto a patio and the garden.
Adjacent to the dining room is a library/TV room with bespoke shelving, an open fireplace with a marble surround from Kolmården and a further impressive stained-glass window. A third spacious reception room completes this elegant sequence, featuring a bay window overlooking the water and ample space for both seating and dining.
Most rooms feature beautiful parquet flooring, including some with darker African parquet.
The upper floor comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. Two bedrooms enjoy views over the water, while a third has been converted into a walk-in wardrobe. The generous principal bedroom opens onto a wonderful terrace, enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine and views across the lush garden. The fully tiled bathroom features a bathtub, shower, WC, washbasin and vanity unit.
The basement houses the laundry room and the lake-water heating system.
The grounds offer an exceptional range of additional amenities. A charming timber-built guest cottage features bespoke bunk beds, an open fireplace, a new electrical installation and an air-source heat pump. One of the property's two jetties is located nearby.
The second jetty is situated on the opposite side of the grounds, alongside a sandy beach and steps leading down to the water. A few metres above the shoreline is the lakeside cottage, featuring a bedroom and a wood-fired sauna, both with lovely water views. The cottage has new electrics and exterior cladding and was repainted in 2024.
There is also a small playhouse and two storage buildings. The main house, carport and storage buildings were all repainted in 2024. An additional 15 sqm storage room beside the carport has new electrics and an RCD.
A truly rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained waterfront estate with its own peninsula, two jetties, sandy beach, guest accommodation and sauna, all in a stunning natural setting just approximately 20 minutes from Falun.
